One of the things I love most is the variety of festivals here, from Navaratri, the nine-night festival honoring the goddess Durga, to Pongal in Tamil Nadu, a harvest festival to give thanks to nature. The diversity and abundance of Indian festivals demonstrate the country’s deep traditions and strong sense of community. One of the ancient arts that is widely used in weddings is the Simple Arabic mehndi design.
However, alongside this, I thinks India still has many issues that need to be addressed, such as gender discrimination and outdated customs that persist in some parts of society. For instance, some villages in western India still practice rituals like throwing children from heights or immersing them in boiling water. These archaic practices seriously impact the safety and well-being of children, both physically and psychologically.
